Lonely Stranger (Acoustic Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I must be invisible
No one knows me
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees

I was born with a raging thirst
A hunger to be free
But I've learned through the years
Don't encourage me

[Pre-Chorus]
Because I'm a lonely stranger here
Well, beyond my day
And I don't know what's going on
I'll be on my way

[Chorus]
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)

[Verse 2]
When I walk, stay behind
Don't get close to me
Because it's sure to end in tears
So just let me be
Some will say that I'm no good
Maybe I agree
Take a look then walk away
That's all right with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Because I'm a lonely stranger here
Well, beyond my day
And I don't know what's going on
I'll be on my way

[Chorus]
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)

[Chorus]
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)

[Chorus]
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
(I'll be on my way)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
